27、heHarvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circlesubsequently suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters thanthose who did not.Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender,who was a hostage（人质）negotiator,deali

28、ng with everything from suicide interventions to international kidnaps（绑架）.Hedefines listening as“the identification,selection and interpretation of the key words”.It is crucialto all effective communication.Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact

29、.But that is not really listening,Mr Mullender argues.A good listener is always looking for facts,emotions and indications of the other persons values.Another important point to bear in mind isthat,when you talk,you are not listening.The listeners focus should be on analysis.Of course,a listener nee

38、 hardest things to do in life,but its also oneof the most rewarding.If you run,you are telling basic parts of your brain,“I guess this threatreally was real.I better stay away from it.”You are training yourself to fear,regardless of thatsituation.If you cling,you are saying,“Escape from this emotion

39、 is a threat”,and since it is not ahappy experience,happiness slips through your hands like sand.Note that you can not fool yourself.Just allow the full emotion.You will never enter into theirsecret life until you stop running or clinging.To control your life,you need to actively train youremotions
